Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World season 3 release date, latest news
What shenanigans await Subaru and the gang in season 3?
Subaru Natsuki and his companions return for yet another action-packed season, with multiple trailers and a release date confirmed for the highly-anticipated Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World season 3.
The original season first aired back in 2016, and quickly became beloved by anime fans from all over the world.
The latest trailer revealed yet another crisis Subaru must face, this time at the hands of new enemies that’ll put him and Emilia, his faithful silver-haired companion, to the test in ways that they’ve never faced before.
Re:Zero is an anime that follows Subaru Natsuki, a high school student who gets sucked into another world. He quickly ends up dying while trying to protect a silver-haired girl, Emilia – only to be brought back to life.
Subaru soon realises he can use his powers to turn back time, and uses them to help Emilia on her quest. The downside? Subaru remembers each and every time he’s died, while Emilia and the other people he meets do not.
